NESSELRODE FRUIT SAUCE
Nesselrode is named after one Count Nesselrode, as are a number of dishes that are made with chestnuts or chestnut puree. This is according to Larousse Gastronomique, the French food encyclopedia. Larousse doesn't say why chestnuts are associated with the Count, a 19th century Russian diplomat who negotiated the Treaty of Paris after the Crimean War, but it does note that nesselrode pudding was created for the count by his chef Monsieur Mouy. This sauce may be used for making Nesselrode pie. Cooking time is steeping time.

Steps:
- Heat the milk in a saucepan and when it is warm, add the gelatin. Stir to dissolve. Bring just to the simmer and remove from the heat.
- Put the egg yolks in a mixing bowl and add one-quarter cup of sugar. Beat until golden yellow and slightly thickened. Add the hot milk mixture, stirring vigorously.
- Pour this liquid into a saucepan and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the custard coats the spoon with a film. The correct temperature on a thermometer is 180 degrees. Immediately pour the mixture into a cold mixing bowl so that it does not cook further. Add the Nesselrode mix and stir. Let cool.
- Beat the egg whites until foamy. Continue beating while gradually adding the remaining one-third cup of sugar. Beat until stiff and fold this into the custard mixture.
- Beat the cream until stiff and fold it into the custard. Pour the mixture into the pie shell. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight until set.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality chocolate: The chocolate you use will make a big difference in the final flavor of your Nesselrode mix. Look for a chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 60%) and a rich, smooth flavor.
- Use fresh cream: Fresh cream will give your Nesselrode mix a light and fluffy texture. Avoid using ultra-pasteurized or shelf-stable cream, as these will not whip up as well.
- Chill your ingredients: Before you start making your Nesselrode mix, chill your cream, chocolate, and eggs. This will help the mixture come together more easily and prevent it from curdling.
- Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks: This will help to incorporate air into the mixture and give it a light and fluffy texture.
- Fold in the chocolate and eggs gently: Overmixing can cause the mixture to curdle. Fold in the chocolate and eggs gently until they are just combined.
- Chill the mixture before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
Nesselrode mix is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be served as a simple dessert on its own, or it can be used to make more elaborate desserts such as cakes, pies, and parfaits. With its rich chocolate flavor and creamy texture, Nesselrode mix is sure to please everyone at your table.
